Pet Microchipping
Pet microchipping is a simple way to help increase the chances of being reunited with your dog or cat if they become lost. At Bocage Animal Hospital, we provide pet microchipping in Baton Rouge, LA as part of preventive care for pets.
A microchip provides permanent identification that can be scanned by veterinary hospitals, shelters, and animal control organizations.
What to Expect With Pet Microchipping
Microchipping is a quick procedure that places a small identification chip under your pet’s skin. The microchip contains a unique number connected to your contact information through a registration database.
Our team can discuss microchipping during your pet’s wellness visit, puppy or kitten appointment, or another scheduled visit.
Why Pet Microchipping Matters
Collars and tags are helpful, but they can fall off or become damaged. A microchip stays with your pet and provides an added layer of identification if they are ever separated from you.
Keeping your registration information current is an important part of making sure your pet’s microchip can help bring them home.
Permanent Identification for Dogs and Cats
At Bocage Animal Hospital, we recommend microchipping for both dogs and cats. Whether your pet spends time outdoors or lives indoors, unexpected escapes can happen.
Microchipping gives your pet a reliable form of identification.
